Help clients parent from their best selves.

Like all parents, your clients want what's best for their kids. But when emotions are high, conflict and reason often play tug-of-war. And as professionals, it's our job to help parents make thoughtful decisions about how to focus on their kids—without putting them in the middle.

When you use The Parenting Plan Guide for Professionals, you'll inspire collaborative decision-making between parents and equip them with skills they need for a healthy co-parenting relationship going forward.

The result is a parenting plan and process that serves their family well now and long into the future.

Every family is unique. Their parenting plan should be, too.

Walk your clients through a comprehensive approach to their parenting plan, so they don't leave anything to chance.
